- Choose Richmond for the flagship Dyer Street loft under the Jaques building.
- Choose South Yarra for the quieter Powell Street haven near Chapel Street.
Why is Frankie Salon highly reviewed?
We are known for colour results, warm service, and design-led spaces. We share a brand claim of 1000+ five-star reviews across the Frankie Family. Always check Google for the latest score for each location.
What products / colour brands do you use?
We use professional salon colour and care systems chosen for healthy hair and soft, lived-in results. Product lines can evolve — ask your colourist at consultation what is best for your hair right now. We also partner with Sustainable Salons (a small sustainability fee applies).
Colour and prices
What is Frankie Signature colour?
Frankie Signature is our soft, lived-in colour approach — balayage and foils designed for a natural grow-out and healthier-looking hair. Colour is booked with a blow wave or cut so the finish matches the colour work.
What is the difference between Signature colour and classic foils?
Signature colour is our soft, blended, lived-in finish. Classic foils are a more traditional placement. Both can look beautiful — we recommend based on your hair history, lifestyle, and grow-out goals. Read Booking with Frankie: https://frankie.salon/booking-with-frankie/
Do you do money piece / face-framing highlights?
Yes. Money-piece and face-framing colour is one of our most-requested looks — soft brightness around the face, often paired with Signature balayage or dimensional brunette. Ask for a money piece or face frame at consultation.
How much does balayage cost at Frankie Salon?
Signature colour is an investment service. As a guide from our current service list:
- Signature full-head balayage/foils + cut: about $720–$800
- Signature half-head + cut: about $620–$700
- Full-head balayage (à la carte): about $365–$400
- Full foils (à la carte): about $315–$350
- Face frame: about $130–$170
Exact price depends on hair length, density, and the look you want. New clients who are unsure what to book should call before booking. See https://frankie.salon/service-list/ for the full menu.
Do you do colour correction?
Yes. We regularly help clients who have had harsh or uneven colour elsewhere. Colour correction always starts with an honest consultation — we will tell you what is realistic in one visit versus what needs a plan.
Do you offer keratin or smoothing treatments?
Yes. Bhave keratin / smoothing services are available (typically about $450–$650 depending on the service). Ask your stylist whether smoothing suits your hair goals alongside colour.
Is Frankie Salon good for balayage in Richmond or South Yarra?
Yes. Frankie Salon specialises in soft Signature balayage and lived-in colour at both Richmond and South Yarra — focused on healthy hair and honest grow-out, not stripey blonding.
